 But the truth is: TAD can actually extrude in //any direction//  The //Ground Plane Editor// allows you to select the plane from which the extrusion has to happen.  But the truth is: TAD can actually extrude in //any direction//  The //Ground Plane Editor// allows you to select the plane from which the extrusion has to happen.

 Instead, that part is first //extruded// on the actual ground somewhere else on the temple premises. Then the sculptor would work on it; and once that sunshade is fully finished; it is lifted up, rotated 90 degree vertically; and then pinned at the correct location on the final vertical face Instead, that part is first //extruded// on the actual ground somewhere else on the temple premises.

-The //pinning// concept in TAD is extremely powerful -- as you can easily extrude any number of elements all over [[the site]] TAD does not need additional "windows" or "viewports" to see  different parts of the same model. Instead,  you can scatter all the 3D elements around [[the site]] very much in a similar fashion to the way temples were constructed in India once upon a time +The //pinning// concept in TAD is extremely powerful -- as you can easily extrude any number of elements all over [[vm|the site]] TAD does not need additional "windows" or "viewports" to see  different parts of the same model.

 BTW, Even today; temple construction happens in India in a similar fashion: It is fascinating to see sculptors creating various elements of the temple first on the ground -- they are scattered randomly everywhere on the construction site -- and then once finished, the elements are rotated 90 degrees vertically and pinned at the correct locations BTW, Even today; temple construction happens in India in a similar fashion: It is fascinating to see sculptors creating various elements of the temple first on the ground -- they are scattered randomly everywhere on the construction site -- and then once finished, the elements are rotated 90 degrees vertically and pinned at the correct locations
